June Brides- Invitations?

Hiya, I was just thinking the same thing! Mine are already to go with an RSVP of the 3rd March so I am thinking next week really to give people just under 8 weeks to get them back. Everyone has already had save the dates so I suppose I could wait longer but I really want to send them now!! Jenna x

This is an extreemly good question. I have got mine here and am all ready to write and send them out but wasn't too sure when. I was thinking by the end of this month maybe, my only dilemma is my rsvps have got 1st may 2012 and my venue wants me to give final numbers and the rest of the budget by end of feb. I'm not too sure if this is too early or standard? Means my rsvps are way out though. What should i do? x

I am sending mine late this month/ early next month with an RSVP of 02 April

Hi,

Our wedding is 2nd June, we are currently designing our invites and hope to have them out by end of Jan at the latest, with an RSVP of early or mid March probably, most folk have save the dates and the RSVP will be its own envelope and will be stamped so shouldn't take them too long to work out whether they can come or not!

My internationational invites went out in August 2011 to allow time for flights to be booked. I am sending the all day invitaions at the end of January with deadline end of April. This will give us a chance to bump up any evening guests to all day if we get a few declines.

Im a july bride and sent all my invites last week as alot of my guests need to book flights. i only planned on sending the flight ones out then had various family and close friends say 'x has her invite is ours on the way?' so we said sod it and sent them all they dont have an rsvp date as were doing a buffet. x

This is my point exactly.I didn't make my invitations i ordered them and never thought about worrying when people should have rsvp'd by but like you say most people will reply well before then if they will or won't come and our international relatives were told by save the dates last year and they rang and confirmed with me 2 months ago so they can have an invitation but just to keep as they don't need to rsvp i have theirs and will take it out of the invite to keep with all my others i get.

I'm June 23rd, and we are currently in the process of finishing off our invites and hope to have them sent out in the next week or so with an RSVP date of 31st March. We're only sending out family and close friends invites at first though to see how many RSVPs we get back lol

Oooo it's getting close now ladies! I'm so excited!

The people who might have to travel have even had the hotel info with the Save the Date (which reminds me, I should check how many rooms we have left in our allocation!) and we have lots of things which need numbers to book.

I think you will be fine then you sound more organised than i think you realise. I only really need my rsvp's as i am getting married in a small chapel it only seats 42 people so i need to know for space in there and also for welcome drinks and canapes for those who do come to the chapel. I will get them back much earlier than may if i send them now i am sure. Do you think?

Hi, we get married 16th June and we have just sent ours out to come back 1st March.

This may seem too soon to some, but as it is mainly family members coming to the day and everyone knowing the date etc we have sent/handed them out. We also did a wedding website and have already had a few guests RSVP'ing on their that they are coming!

I really shouldn't have opened this thread - I'm now stressing because we've not even started making ours yet! I know I'm a month later than you guys but still! Arghhhhhh!!!

I feel really slack lol....

Our wedding is 29th June, and are in the process of having them made..... our save the dates went out last year....

I was hoping to get the invites out mid feb, with them due back end of march....

Don't know about you girls, but can't believe how the time has flown!!

I agree mrs howard and i get married the day before you. I have just read the post further up and thought godness my wedding is one month before hers and i still havent sorted about 9 of the things mentioned. I hadn't been wanting to do too much before now as i thought i had a while yet and would be twiddling my thumbs and giving myself time to worry and panic change things if it was all done too early but it looks like i best get cracking with it now we are in 2012.

Thank you for all your replies. I think i'm going for the start of February with an RSVP of the start of April. I did send save the dates last year but we have family travelling from overseas who will need hotel details etc. We are also 29th June. I'm starting to feel so nervous now, I also can't believe how fast it has gone.

Hello date twin x

How is everything going? What time will you become an OM?

Hello, thought i was the only one on the 29th. All going ok, got the 'big' things booked, just starting to panic about all the 'little' things that need organising. 1pm. How are you getting on and what time will you be getting married?

I am planning on sending mine out in March with a reply date of end of April.

I have always found that giving people too long doesnt help and if they have not replied in the first couple of weeks then they wont.

Lol... we'll be OM's at the same time lol x

Not getting on too bad.... have everything booked, although having a panic about flowers.... Mum and I are going to see a couple of florists on friday as am on leave.....

Eeek don't talk about invites!! I only have 17/50 made so far. Wanting to get mine out by the end of the month too with an RSVP of end of March. That gives me 6 weeks or so to get table plan and place cards sorted.

Hello date twin ? We're doing what you're doing! Prob a little earlier though as we're going to start making them on Sat (7th) and send them out as they get done. Our RSVP's are for 16th March and they had save the dates last December ('10) so most we know about.

Exciting isn't it - it's nearly our time

Emxx

* puts fingers in ears*

I am so behind with my invites, I made them all months ago but have since found 2 errors and it now means ihave to re-make them ALL!!!!! Really can't be bothered!

Awwww lol, it's so exciting!

My Mum's friend is a florist and we're seeing her in Feb, so i think you should have plenty of time.

My wedding invites are now arriving saturday.... Really needed to get my backside in gear lol!!

We're seeing the Venue and going over details on Monday... in time to get the menu options drafted and to put in the invites.....

This morning has seen a lot happen!!

177 days to go ?

Exciting and stressful! We are designinf, printing and 'twiddling' with our invites ourselves. So far the only thing designed is the day invite, so need to get the evening invite (just wording changing fortunately), RSVP and info booklet and the envelopes mail merged. Hope to start printing this weekend, and have BM booked for next weekend and the one after to do the twiddling with ribbon and pearls and stuff. OH is great at designing things like this and they will be amazing, but it takes him so long to get going! Mustn't complain though - he has been a star running round haberdashers looking for a decent colour match in ribbon!!

This is what we are doing! so close

I'm also 23rd June. My invites should be finished being made in the next week then it's a matter of writing them and sending them out. I like everything done last week so the sooner I get them back the better. I can pay off the remainder of the venue and then concentrate on the tiddly bits!

Our Wedding is on the 8th June. We sent ours out in October! Lots of our friends need to book hotels and flights, so we thought it was best to give them a lot of time. Plus we didn't send out Save The Dates (to save money)

Day invites are due to go out end of Jan with a RSVP date of 9th March.

Evening invites will be aobut a month later.

I wouldn't ours have just gone out for march 24th I received one last April 6 1/2 months in advance and it was forgotten about it took me 3 monts to RSVP as it was so far away so we took the decision to go closer to the time 95% of people know they are getting invites already x
